Pak moves a step closer to IMF bailout package after Imran overhauls team

International News

Pakistan moved a step closer to concluding a financial aid package with the International Monetary Fund after Prime Minister Imran Khan overhauled his economic team and chose a former official from the Washington-based lender as governor of the nation’s central bank.

Reza Baqir -- who served in senior positions at the IMF in past 18 years, including as the fund’s resident representative in Egypt -- was named head of the State Bank of Pakistan at the weekend. His predecessor Tariq Bajwa was fired along with the chief of the tax-collecting agency, Mohammad Jehanzeb Khan. Earlier in April, Finance Minister Asad Umar stepped down and was replaced by Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, a former World Bank official, as the prime minister’s adviser.

Shaikh and Baqir’s experience mean they “would be in a better position to translate the IMF’s message and communicate between the government and the fund comparatively easily,” said Muhammad Arif Habib, chief executive of Arif Habib Corporation.

Pakistan needs the financial aid to ease a balance-of-payment crisis triggered by high fiscal and current-account deficits and dwindling foreign exchange reserves. The South Asian nation has already taken 12 IMF support packages since the 1980s.

Loan Talks

Shaikh is now negotiating what he called a reasonable loan package with the IMF’s team, led by mission chief Ernesto Ramirez Rigo, who is currently in Islamabad for talks with officials. Negotiations with the IMF have stalled twice in the past over various disagreements, such as the exchange rate policy. The IMF wants Pakistan to raise its tax-to-GDP ratio significantly and contain losses at public enterprises in order to plug financial gaps.Pakistan’s credit score was downgraded by S&P Global Ratings in February, which cited a weak economic outlook and the delay in securing an IMF bailout.

The hollowing out of Indian news media—from being serious, agenda-setting, conscience-keepers, to frothy, gutless, market-driven beasts without a soul—is all too obvious, but it was never more apparent than during the recent India-Pakistan kerfuffle.

As the two nuclear powers peered into the abyss, there was a barely a commentary in any part of the world which did not find a problem with the bellicose, hate-spewing, war-mongering discourse on television, mostly Indian news channels but some Pakistani too.

But what about print journalism?

What role did good, “quality” newspapers on either side of the line of control play in lending their wisdom, in lessening the tension, in counselling peace, in urging for dialogue, in not giving their readers more of the poison of last night’s TV?

How did they use their most sacred space, the sanctum sanctorum of a newspaper, the editorial and op-ed pages?

***

Pothan Joseph in the evening of his life, in Bangalore. (courtesy: T.J.S. George)

A good case study is the Dawn of Lahore and Deccan Herald of Bangalore.

Dawn is Pakistan’s most-respected English newspaper. Set up in Delhi in 1941 as a weekly by Mohammed Ali Jinnah, it became a daily the following year, with a South Indian Christian Pothan Joseph as its first Editor. (Dawn moved to Lahore after its Delhi office was set on fire by the Jan Sangh in September 1947.)

Deccan Herald is Karnataka’s oldest English newspaper. It was established in 1948 by K.N. Guruswamy, an excise contractor  who was persuaded by the then Diwan of Mysore to abandon plans of starting a theatre on M.G. Road in favour of a modern newspaper. By a cute coincidence, Pothan Joseph was its first Editor, too.

Pothan Joseph is long gone. His two babies have grown, matured, and are in their 70s.

Over time, both papers have had their troubles, but both have retained their ethos. Both are nearly similar in girth and gravitas; both are known for not taking the low road; both have an editorial page and an opposite-editorial page; and both are, generally speaking, sober purveyors of news and views with an evolved weltanschaaung.

So, what did Dawn and Deccan Herald bring to the table during the recent skirmish?

***

A purely quantitative analysis of the edit and op-ed pages of the two newspapers from February 15, the day after the CRPF convoy was attacked in Pulwama, to March 10, after the war cries had somewhat died down, reveals how Indian print media has abdicated its role as thought-leader.

The broad numbers:

# Over the 24-day period, both Dawn and Deccan Herald had some “content” or the other on its edit and op-ed pages relating to the India-Pakistan situation.

But…

# Dawn carried 15 unsigned editorials, 25 opinion/comment pieces, 2 news analyses, 34 letters to the editor, and one editorial cartoon.

# In contrast, Deccan Herald carried a mere 7 editorials, 7 opinion pieces, 3 news analyses, 2 interviews and 30 letters.

In other words, Dawn beat Deccan Herald hands down, the scoreline reading 77-49.

If letters to the editor are taken out of the equation, it is a more dismal 43-19.

Dawn consistently, repeatedly and creditably used its stature as a voice of reason and batted for sanity. More importantly, instead of mortgaging its edit and op-ed space to academics, security experts, think-tankers, diplomats, military men and other vested interests, it often deployed its own editorial team, reflecting the paper’s stand.

A former editor of Dawn, its resident editors and staff writers, all chipped in. Its Delhi correspondent Jawed Naqvi did two front-page analyses, and three opinion pieces. An Indian journalist Latha Jishnu was among two women who lent voice to the debates.

Dawn also used its front page to send a signal to the powers-that-be in Pakistan effectively, by publishing an appeal by three former foreign secretaries.

***

Probably because of Bangalore’s distance from Delhi; probably it had other things to do deal with; probably because it is improperly staffed; probably because it operates in India’s most crowded newspaper market, Deccan Herald fell back on the usual rent-a-quote policy wonks and retired bureaucrats.

Most of its letters to the editor were from the usual names that populate its edit page on most other days, many of them dressing up propaganda messages received on WhatsApp.

Deccan Herald once had a correspondent in Pakistan. In its absence now due to visa restrictions, there was nothing like a view from the Pakistani side. The only “independent” view came from a New York Times syndicated piece.

And because Deccan Herald works on pre-cast design templates, it was constrained from using its front page to denote anything of significance. Business as usual.

In fact, on 12 of the 24 days, the front page was an advertisement in Deccan Herald.

***

By carrying 100% more editorials than Deccan Herald, and 200% more opinion pieces, Dawn underlines the value it places on the edit and oped pages in articulating the newspaper’s voice, in shaping minds and moulding policy—attributes Indian newspapers have abandoned in the post-liberalisation age in the name of “giving the readers what they want”.

Dawn also demonstrates, generally speaking, that their in-house writers, past and present, have the intellectual bandwidth to churn out cogent prose of a 1,000 words or more. There is no evidence of that in Deccan Herald in the 24-day period.

With general elections round the corner, Deccan Herald also comes up woefully short in explaining the motivation and implications. And like most Indian newspapers flooded with advertisements of Narendra Modi, is happy to be seen beating a triumphalist drum that is music to the ruling BJP.

War is serious business, especially when unstable, individualistic leaders prone to quixotic decision-making sans any accountability, are at the helm. So, humour is understandably at a premium in the 24-day period despite Pakistan’s superb satirists.

So, nostalgia.

For nearly four decades, Pothan Joseph wrote an unsigned, freewheeling daily column titled “Over a cup of tea”. It appeared in the Dawn and in Deccan Herald and in most of his other ports of call.

In his 2007 biography ‘Lessons in Journalism: the story of Pothan Joseph‘, T.J.S. George reproduces a snippet.

“The New York Times raises the scare that the one front in the world where there might be war is between India and Pakistan, but if the Anglo-American companies and the Dutch refineries stop supplies of petrol and aviation-spirits, the movements of mechanised columns must fizzle out in two days. There will thus be no war, thought there may be periodical rioting for the relief of emotional stress; that’s the long and short of the situation, Bob.”

How would “Bob” view Wag the Dog?

Mohammad Sohail looks around his empty tailor's shop and sighs at the lack of business. “I was taken by Imran Khan's slogan of change, but the hopes I had have almost vanished now,” he says, surrounded by bolts of cloth, but no customers. Business is well down since the tailor voted for the former cricketing superstar 12 months ago, while two other salesmen at the cavernous Rawalpindi shop have been laid off in cost cutting. “He should be given some time, he's only had a year,” his colleague Chaudhry Shabaz counters as they begin to rehash a well-worn conversation of recent months. “I'd vote for him again and I think he will deliver.” This week marks a year anniversary of Imran Khan's remarkable transformation from sporting legend to prime minister of a 210 million-strong, nuclear-armed nation. The 66-year-old is due to arrive in Washington on Sunday for his first talks with Donald Trump, where America will again try to court Pakistan's help delivering a political settlement in Afghanistan. Yet at home Mr Khan leaves an economic slump which has quickly taken the shine off his election win and led many to question his administration's competence. At the same time the opposition allege his signature anti-corruption purge has been revealed as a skewed political vendetta, as rival after rival is locked up by anti-graft investigators, while any dissent in the media is stifled. Mr Khan won last year's general election promising a new Pakistan and an end to the corruption, nepotism and poverty which have blighted the lives of many Pakistanis. Rooting out corruption in particular was the rallying cry for him and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.  His populist campaign blamed the country's woes on a thieving political elite which spirited away billions into overseas accounts at the expense of health, education and development. Months before polling, prime minister Nawaz Sharif of the PML-N party had been ousted in an anti-corruption investigation after the Panama Papers international leak of documents linked his family to offshore accounts.  Mr Khan's fortunes had also been transformed after years in the political wilderness by the backing of the country's powerful generals, according to diplomats and opposition figures. Though they deny meddling in democracy, they have either ruled the country directly or pulled strings behind the scenes for much of its history. The surrounding area of Rawalpindi voted for Mr Khan last year, but residents are now divided on his leadership Credit: Anjum Naveed /AP Mr Khan's promises of a cleaner, more equal country along with a welfare state saw the PTI win the most seats in parliament and then build a coalition with a slim majority. A year on, a recent Gallup poll said his popularity had plummeted, with his approval rating falling by 13 per cent in a matter of two months. The satellite town area of Rawalpindi is one of the areas that voted for him. One year later, its residents reflect the deep divide in the country. “I had more than 1,000 hopes and expectations for Imran Khan,” said Naseem Ahmed, who canvassed for the cricket World Cup winning captain. “Our lives would start to change when this government came; we would be happy and secure. But now we realise we were wrong. I should have voted PML-N.” Rising prices eating into daily life are his main gripe against his former voting choice. Plenty of others in neighbouring shops defend Mr Khan and urge patience though. “You can't change things in one or two days, or a small amount of time,” cautioned Mohammad Atiq, a 23-year-old bakery manager. “It was the corruption I wanted to see change and I like how many they have arrested. We are optimistic he will deliver, but it will take some time.” Mr Khan inherited a looming economic crisis from the PML-N, but it has worsened on his watch. His government is fighting a balance of payments crisis, rising inflation, a falling rupee and low exports. As the forecast has worsened he has been accused of failing to grip the situation while his top economic advisers have been repeatedly changed. An eventual £4.8bn IMF bailout has been accompanied by subsidy cuts and tax hikes. Mismanagement shows he has been unable to make the switch from populist street campaigner to statesman, says Farzana Shaikh, a Pakistan expert at the Chatham House think tank. “Clearly the art of governance is one that escapes him,” she said. She went on: “With some of the previous civilian elected governments, the claim was always that they didn't perform well because the military was determined to bring them down and to place hurdles in their way.  “On this occasion, you can't really say that. If anything I think it's an open secret that Imran Khan's rise to power was facilitated by the military. So he doesn't really have the excuse of having the military establishment arranged against him.” This week marks Mr Khan's one year anniversary as leader of Pakistan Credit: Farooq Naeem/AFP Any opposition might be expected to have a field day in such circumstances. Instead, the two main parties, the PML-N and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), and their dynastic leaderships are harried by a barrage of anti-corruption investigations from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). After the arrest this week of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in an inquiry into a natural gas contract, two former prime ministers and a former president are now behind bars. Pakistan has a history of politically-motivated corruption purges, often used by the military to undermine civilian rivals. The opposition says the cases are a selective witchhunt to distract attention from economic woes and questions why the investigations are focused only on them. They accuse Mr Khan of being nothing more than a military puppet. Mr Khan and his supporters say their prosecutions are a long overdue reckoning. The country's deeply divided and toxic politics have been energised by the PML-N releasing a video purporting to show a senior judge confessing he was blackmailed into jailing Nawaz Sharif in December. The judge says the video was taken out of context and the PML-N was trying to bribe him. Several channels that broadcast the original press conference where the PML-N made the accusation were taken off air. Mr Khan has said he will block any media coverage and interviews with politicians "who are convicts and under trial”. With such political acrimony, there seems little hope Mr Khan can build consensus to try to get reforms through parliament. When Mr Khan greets Donald Trump on Monday, he will meet a leader with one eye already on completing his term next year and running for re-election. It is a measure of the difficulties faced by Pakistani leaders that in 70 years, not one of the country's prime ministers has ever completed their term.
